Board Member - General Member

Are you interested in shaping a more regenerative, connected and thriving future for your local community? For over 30 years, the Willunga Environment Centre has been a focal point for environmental action and community connection in our region. As the world changes, so too must we.

This year, we’re stepping into a process of renewal, reimagining what this organisation can be for the next generation. That includes new energy, new ideas, and new voices helping to guide what comes next.

Being on the Board is a relatively light commitment (a few hours each month), but it offers something meaningful: the chance to contribute to real, local change, and to help evolve an organisation at a pivotal moment in its journey.

You don’t need to have prior Board experience, just a willingness to participate, learn, and care about the place you live.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people who are currently underrepresented in our organisation, including:

• Younger people (including those under 30)
• Women, non-binary people, and
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

If this sparks something for you, we’d love to hear from you at the email provided or connect with us via Facebook.

We welcome expressions of interest from people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. This might include experience or interest in:

• Community development and engagement
• Environmental or sustainability projects
• Project management or event coordination
• Administration, office systems or governance
• HR, policy writing or people management
• Communications, social media or fundraising
• Education, youth engagement or the arts
• Finance, business or strategic planning

You do not need to have previous Board experience to get involved. We value curiosity, collaboration, lived experience, fresh ideas and a genuine interest in community and environmental wellbeing.

We already have the core governance roles of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary in place, and are excited to welcome people who can bring new perspectives, skills, energy and ideas as we shape the future of the organisation together.
